sounds like you need a different PDF reader. there a many out there that allow copying of text from within a PDF, which should alleviate your problem. Unless the PDF is based on a picture, and doesn't have actual text data, which would be a bit odd. I personally use ezPDF reader, which I...

does it actually get a GPS lock? if the GPS icon (satellite dish with waves emanating) keeps blinking, no lock. It turns steady when it gets a lock. google maps won't work with turn-by-turn without a gps lock. I also have an M8 on sprint, and sometime it won't lock. turn the phone off and...

it may be you have multiple contact entries one with a name, and one without, and the phone is defaulting to the entry without an associated name. You can merge contacts from the people app, which should convince the phone to display the associated name. There should be an option in...

I use the official HTC dock and it's awesome. available at amazon. I had the M7 official dock as well, and it's about the same. M8 dock maybe a little more snug, although might just be because it's not a year old. Launches car mode automatically, looks nice, super stable, and very...

Weird. I also have a stock sprint M8 and mine works properly (music pauses for voice input), so probably not a systemic issue. What keyboard are you using? I know swype used to use a dragon speech client rather than the google one, and that would not pause music when listening, although I...

swiping up on the bar at the bottom of the lock screen with the little up carrot in it launches google now (because that's the google now shortcut). if you swipe up on the lock in the middle, or anywhere else on the screen that isn't a launcher bar shortcut, it'll unlock to wherever you were...

One of the first reviews of the M8 I read said something along the lines of: the most remarkable thing about the M8 is that it makes the M7 seem low-tech (I paraphrase, can't remember the exact quote). I completely agree. I had an M7 since launch day, and I loved it. I got an M8 on launch day...

Re: Does your menu button work? I do have a sprint M8. I think, when I took the screenshot to put in that post that I checked it both ways, and it didn't make a difference (both showsedthe legacy menu key, home still didn't take to the menu). I just went to verify that, but with the update...

Re: Does your menu button work? I think the point people are making is that this is an irrelevant setting on the sprint M8. Either way you choose it, it behaves the same, and the home button will never get you to the menu. As stated earlier in this thread, if an app needs a "menu" button...

Settings -> Mobile Data -> Automatic Connections. Uncheck the box. At least that's how it works on sprint. Snapdragon Battery Guru will do this as well, but if you didn't change any battery guru settings and it only showed up post 4.4, it's probably the former.

The reason (I'm guessing here) that NFC isn't one of the selectable quick toggles in Sense is that android doesn't allow quick toggling of NFC. I've read it's a security issue. You can put the NFC toggle in power toggles (as shown above), but without rooting it won't actually turn NFC on and...

Same here. on Sprint with 4.4 and have the option for phone style.

I scanned the responses in this thread and didn't see this, but forgive me if I missed it. The issue with net loss of battery life during heavy use in the car is related to both the amp rating of the power adapter, as well as whether the adapter is a dedicated charge port, which is part of...

you can make direct dial shortcuts for you home screen and put them all in a folder. Then it only takes 1x1 square, but will expand and hold up to 16 contacts. can do the same for direct sms if you like as well.

I would seriously doubt that you can find an all-in-one integrated solution for what you want. You can still do what you want, it just takes a few different items. I do something similar. I have the HTC official car dock (which is great, but doesn't accomodate a case). When I drop my phone...

The stock email client (at least on sprint) supports push only with an exchange activesync account, not with imap. You can do it with Hotmail (I've heard) but not with Gmail, yahoo, or most isp accounts unless they specifically support an exchange server. The Gmail and yahoo apps support push by...

That's weird. I stream Pandora via bluetooth in my car all the time with a lockscreen without issue. There is even a lockscreen control widget that pops up. There is a setting in Pandora for "bluetooth for automotive", I'm not sure what it actually does, but mine is checked. Try that and see...

That's weird, I have dragon mobile assistant on my One, and it works fine. I personally don't think that it's any better than google voice search, however. There is a lot of needed interaction with dragon that makes it more cumbersome to use, although the voice recognition is excellent, and it...

I find the video quality in general to be quite good. I don't shoot 1080 because I don't want the huge file sizes, I shoot 720. I don't see a huge problem with your video. The shot of the trombone at the end looks pretty sharp to me. If your question is about the blur that happens when it...

The problem with the (free) version of dropsync is that it caps at 8MB file size, so while you don't get 100 million zoe shots, you also don't get your videos. Maybe that works for you (it doesn't for me). The paid version removes this restriction.
